Joe S. is the Fortunate possessor of a mother iu-law, and, what he i robably thought more of, among his horses was oue known as Quaker. Now Quaker Was a g'.od reader, and could and would jerk a wokoo with two iu it in 2:?l on the ro:id, aud the herder he was pulled iu and the more he was yelled at, the faster he meant to u<>- In fact, when a competing horse ranged al ingside and a strung pull was taken, accompanied by yells, be thought he must do his level best on trotting, and you bet be did it. Not many years ago, when the county fair was held where Master Joe then lived, he had old Quaker hitched up to a 130 pounds three quarter seated wag on, and, us he was getting in, mother iu law wished to go with him. lie in form d her that ho was g< ing to the town clerk's office at the 1 >w r eud uf the village (about a uiilej, and if she was in a hurry to return she would have to drive back alone, and then cramped the wagon for her admittance ; and with Head drooping and sluuehiug g;?it old Quaker walked along, tuking the ill assorted pair to the town clerk's oi5?e. Now, be it known, Joe dearly loves fun. and will have it as often as possible, white mother-in-law is a rigid, old fbcht^^d. sky-blue Baptist, uudoubted ly very good, but unfortunately possessed with the idea'that to laugh is to sin. !t so happened that every team at that time was going to tlia fair grounds, or else was walking ; so Qu iker had no chance to "score up," bur just as they arrived at the office ol the town clerk, S. saw Jack Barnes oomiug on his way to the fair. Now Jack's mare has the reputation of being 4 or f> seconds faster I than old Quaker. To turn Quaker around, jump out, and advise mother-in I law to drive slow going home, was but a iniuute's work ; and then holding up his hand to attract Jack's attention, he told him he would pay chickeu fixings and etceteras if he would range alongside Quaker at speed, yell, and spirt the old horse up the street to the Fair Ground's entrance. A nod. and Jack touches Lady Cultcr with his whip, sings out git ! and lays for Quaker, who, hearing the stepper coming, grabs at his bit. Mothcr-ui law takes hold of reins in Iront uf the buttons; puts feet against brace iron iu front, and as the lady ranges alongside, Jack yelling lively, mother in law takes her strongest pull, screaming whoa ! to ?top her ??auimitc " But he didn't stop?not much?he didn't. The pull was just enough to steady him good ; whoa ho evidently considered to be meant for a sell to the other horse, und squatted to go his level best, aud ju^t did it. Now you bet ! Barnes was actually getting left behind, aud warming up to his Work ho commenced in right good t amest to sing out, -'Hi Varr ! Go er long ! What ar?s you about ! Git, won't yer ?" and they d d git?nice?"both on 'cm " The people they passed seeing their spjed and the old lady's hat on the back of her neck, her shawl streaming out bohind, and the courage with which sho hung on to the lines, clapped their hands aud | eucouragingly sung out, "Good, old gal!"?"Gay old bird !"--"2:40 !"? '?Bully for old Quaker!'* Aud as they passed the two hotels the fast boys on the piai.zas gave them three cheers with a vim?in fact, with several extra vims. Jce's mother in law took the first evcring train for her Green Mountain home. His parting words were, "he should not dare allow her to drive Qua ker agsin, as be had cautioned her to drive alow, aud she had goue and beat one of the fastest horses iu town." Joe said next day, with a quiet twin kle iu his eye, that bit wife did not give him a "curtain lecture" that night, and when parties put up thoir little bats on ? t, he proved by Jaox Barnes that they went out to Pittsburgh tor their chicken fixings and etceteras, and didn't get buck until 6 o'clook next morning, A Western Incident. A target shoot was a grand thing among the rough pioneers; there were some visi tors from beyond the mountsins, snd each rifleman was particularly anxious to display his own accomplishment before ihe strangers. Mika Firk was among them ?tbe prince of marksmen. Buton this occasion he was unusually quiet aud reticeut. After exhibiting their skill by "cut ling the center," to tbe satisfaction of the visitors, it came Fink's turn to per form the grand final feat ?f the occa sion. This consisted in setting 9 tin cup on the head ofoueo.rthe party, and placing him at the distance c?uity paces, shoot ing the cup off the head of the person supporting it. Mike as usual seledted Joe Stevens as cup bearer. All knew his skill and no one would hesitate to have performed the service, They did not know, however, that but a short time before this Mike had fallen out with Joe, and had patieutlv waited the time for h*n revengo. Joe accepted the honor with alacrity, especially gratifi-id at Mike's commendatory remarks, as he re quested him to perform the service. Fink expressed himself conti lent that he could ' plug the foremost side of the cup, pro vided Joe would hold it up, for he allus held it kind o' stidy like." The distance Was measured?the cup hearer took his station; tho shining hel met was placed upon his head. Mike took his "peg," pricked his flint, primed hisgrelock, poised his rifle, took aim and fired, The ball crushed through the brain of his former friend ani comrade, and Joe Stevens fell prono to tha earth I and expired without a groaf. Mike's rengeauce was satiated. Hot Joe had a brother there that u*?y^ ^v^_^ He. as well as the o?irr persons" pHLi. sent, knew that "Mike Fink had playnd foul." Scarcely has the light smjke wreath from Mike's fatal rifle vanished i into thin air, when Dick Stevens, the j brother of the murdered Joe, brought ! his unerring rifle to bear upon the mur I derer, aud iu an instant a hall was crash j ing through the skull of Miko Fin'< and j he fell dead in his placr- at the p^g from I whence he sent the messenger of j death to a felluw heinjr only a few seoou 1 \ before. A deep and wide pit was dug and in I to it the rude backswoodsmcn lowered ? the lifeless forma of murdered and tnur I derer and there?through long ages for j gotten?the two silently niouider to i dust. IlF.?tOlCE ObEMENCK TO DtTTT.? Many can still recollect when tidings came of the silent heroism with which more than fire hundred soldiers, in the wreck of the liirkcnhcad, met death iu the spirit of obedience to duty ; and that, too. when there was none of the excite incut of battle au 1 of victory to cheer j them on. The soldiers stood in their i ranks on the deck of the sinking ship while the women and children were quietly put into ouo of the b..ats. '"Every one did as he was directed," says Captain Wright, or." of the few who escaped to tell 'he tale; "aod there was not a murmur or a cry among them till the vessel made her find plunge. All tho officers received their orders, anl liud tkem carried out, as if the men were embarking instead of going to th.' bottom. There was ouly this d;.:Tcrcucc, I never saw auy embatkath'n con ducted with so little noise and confusion. W/heu the vessel was just going dowu, the cotnmauder''?not of the soldiers, but of the ship?"called out, 'AH those who can swim jump overboard, aud make for the boats.' The officer begged the men not to do us the commander said, as the bout with the women must be swamped. Not mere cl uu three tuado the attempt. And so they sank among the waves, carrying the habits of duty, which they had learut as foldicrs, into that last act of self-sacrifice."?.bj'r LJ ward btravkey in Good Word?.

The English H?rre*t A London lerter says: Om won doth tread upon another'a heals: sad now, ia addition to the almost complete rum of the potatoe crop, and a fresh outbreak of the osttle plague, we hear that in Scotland, sad the North of England, the wheat, rye, barley, and oat harvest it spoiled, "The weather for the last fort night has bean unprecedented in la* history of our harr cits." aays the leading Scotch journal; "the rainfall has been again excessive: the atmosphere clogged with moisture; thunderstorms hare been ? comman, and the electrical action of the air of a moat disturbing character./ Ia consequence of all this. "The crops are not only bad in every sense of the term, but the expense of securing thorn it everywhere excessive.', In those quar ters where the wheat hat not yet been cut it is deteriorated by e second growth and when it has been put up in aheavta the wet weather has made whole field quite unsuitable for human food. Bar? ley and oat3 have also suffered in the same way, and ia n word, the destruction of the cereal crops in Scotland and the North of England is nearly complete. As in the potato rot it is stated th?t tin former estimates of lots have all been groatiy understated, with the exceptio? of Ireland. In that island the disease a fow week? ago was very prevalent, but for some undiscovered cause ita ravages have been arrested, and the crop there) will be at least tolerably good- Through out England and Scotland in those localities where potatoes hare for many ' years been extensively grown the short coming is now said to range between Jl?rjjj&d_cighj*' per cent.
